The just-concluded 13th National
Party Congress went smoothly despite fresh COVID-19 outbreaks, bringing about confidence, and it can be viewed as an initial success, Vu
Minh Khuong, an associate professor at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National
University of Singapore, told Vietnam News Agency.
Vietnam is making remarkable steps towards economic
integration, he noted, adding that there is a new atmosphere of reform in
Vietnam, which can be called the second “Doi Moi” (Renewal) period, as all
people and the entire Party are being well aware of the nation’s resurgence
towards prosperity, to turn Vietnam into a developed country by 2045 on the occasion
of the 100th National Independence Day.
In such context, Vietnam should prioritise forming an
excellent administration that meets people’s expectation and is capable of
managing the entire development process, he suggested.
Speaking of foreign affairs, Khuong said
Vietnam should promote comprehensive relations with the US, Japan, China, the
EU, and Southeast Asian nations, not only in diplomacy but also economy and
security, in order to maximise the benefits./.
